Little tidbits about how I'm seeing the Lord work daily. Come on in!
"I need answers." That's a phrase I've said over and over during the past year to God, to friends, to family, to anyone really. I need answers why cancer happens or why mass shootings occur or why things don't work out like I intended. "I need answers, God." I've asked kindly. I've asked firmly. Still [...]
My boyfriend and I decided to meet in the middle this weekend for a day trip to Huntsville. I was in charge of finding a coffee shop; he was in charge of planning and finding an activity for our date. He thought it would be fun for us to go to the U.S. Space and [...]
Do you ever just get an itch to clean out your entire house? I'm not talking just shuffling the clutter around and giving yourself the impression that everything is neat except it's all just shoved in various drawers. (It's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me.) I got home from Christmas break and said no [...]
The older I get, the less I feel like people want to be vulnerable and honest and go deep with me. The same is true with roles reversed, I find myself sometimes being okay with the same old shallow conversations. I feel a tug at my heart each time it happens. Aching for more. I [...]
Today, I had the day off from work. I’ve been working like crazy and all I wanted to do all day was be outside. So somehow I walked 7 miles, half of which I walked at Radnor Lake. This morning, I was listening to John Eldredge’s Pause app and it asked me to think about [...]
Dear friend going through sorority recruitment, I'm thinking about you and praying for you during this time. Every August, my mind always jumps to thoughts about those going through recruitment so soon. It's already crazy enough to be moving to a new city and beginning your college career, but to also throw in recruitment can [...]
We all can agree on the simple fact that 2020-2021 hasn't exactly been the season we planned or hoped for. We've lost people we loved. Jobs have been lost, hard decisions have been made, and often it feels like there's no gas left to put in our tanks. We're running on empty. I've been thinking [...]
Do you ever think about the faith you had as child? The faith you had in your parents to take care of you; the faith you had in Jesus to be your Lord and Savior; the faith you had in some consistency in schedule with school, family, etc. Or maybe you had none of that. Maybe over time you grew to lack faith in your family or didn’t begin to know Jesus from a young age.
Every six months, my department has a half day of prayer offsite individually. A few weeks ago I had my first half day of prayer with work. I wasn’t sure what it would be like, praying for 4 hours consecutively. I don’t think I’ve ever done that before. I had been looking forward to it [...]
I work at an addiction treatment center and it’s pretty much my favorite place in the entire world. Women walk through our doors to receive the help they need. None of them look alike. None of them have the same story, but they have a common thread: addiction wreaking havoc on their lives. I’ve had [...]
